Hey,
I got something similar last night. I tried to interface a serial mouse to one of my com ports. The idea behind this is to get more handy controls at no cost. I checked the proto of the mouse I found back in stuff with a terminal and a hex editor. It mached the description of a Microsoft 2 button mouse (3 data words of 7 bits 1200 bps no parity one stop no handshake) So far so good But I didn't recieved anything in comport (after turning off the teminal to release the com) I also tried something less exotic (another PC connected wit a null modem cable to the port - Both running 9600-8-N-1 no handshake) But I wasn't able to get anything. I noticed that open 0 opens COM1, open 1 opens com 2...
If so you have an old version of comport. The latest version will probably work better. Martin
